Why emotions don’t translate across cultures

Wherever you go in the world, people feel emotions differently. Social psychologist Batja Mesquita is a distinguished professor of psychology at the University of Leuven, Belgium, and she joins guest host Paige Phelps to discuss why feelings differ from culture to culture, why shame can be good, and why Pixar’s “Inside/Out” movie might have it all wrong. Her book is “Between Us: How Cultures Create Emotions.”
